Hexagonal Port Aligner

  • Increased System Flexibility: Allows manual angular, linear, and lateral axis adjustments.
  • Rigid Design: Sturdy design allows for very high loads.
  • Component Targeting: Key component for aligning instruments and manipulators in UHV systems.

  • What are Hexagonal Port Aligners?

    Ferrovac hexagonal edge-welded bellows port aligners allow for total control over the alignment of ultra-high vacuum (UHV) system components.

    Featuring six alignment screws instead of just three, these aligners enable angular, linear and lateral adjustments. The left/right threaded hexnuts are equipped with pivot mounts on both ends.
    The hexagonal layout of the screws adds exceptional sturdiness to this port aligner, allowing it to theoretically bear the load of entire system components.

    • Precise Adjustments: Achieve accurate angular, linear and lateral alignment with threaded hexnuts.
    • Robust Design: Pivot mounts and CF flange connections ensure exceptional stability during operation.
    • Standardized Compatability: Available in standard flange sizes (DN40CF, DN63CF, DN100CF, DN160CF and DN250CF).

    Typical Applications

    • Component Alignment: Enables flexible axis alignment for instruments and transfer manipulators.
    • System Connection: Connect two chambers of a system together while maintaining accuracy
    • Tolerance Compensation: Overcoming system tolerances manually on-site.

    Flange Size:

    Hexagonal port aligners are available in the standard flange sizes from DN40CF up to DN250CF.
    For smaller flange sizes, or shorter insertion lengths, non-hexagonal port aligners are available.

    Options:

    Besides the hexagonal port aligner, a number of different port alignment solutions are available, for a wide range of applications.
